She said the usual stuff and asked me to give her my email address, so I told her I get loads of emails from O2 already, and that I reckoned she was trying to scam me. I won’t even try to repeat what she said back, but wow, she sure knew quite a few rude words. My advice? Don’t give them any info, not even your name, these muppets ain’t to be trusted!

They called a couple times and claimed to be O2. I’ve just blocked the number now.

Got a call telling me I was gonna get a discount from O2 and they'd send me a new SIM while blocking the old one. They wanted my account username and email, but I didn’t give 'em anything. Just kept them on the line for about five minutes till they finally gave up and hung up. Definitely a scam!

Caught sight of this show on BBC1 about these scam callers. They’ve been pestering me all day, ringing from no less than 4 different numbers! I’m tempted to mess about with them a bit, lure them in like I’m interested... then suddenly give them a nasty surprise!

Got a call from someone claiming to be O2, saying my SIM needed an upgrade. I asked them to confirm they were actually from O2 since they ought to have my info on record. Instead, the guy, who sounded Indian, just kept insisting he needed to talk to the account holder. That didn’t really convince me at all. Feels like a scam for sure.

Was called by someone asking if I was the account holder. I always flip it back on them to see if they can say who they’re actually trying to reach, but as usual, they dodge the question and can’t give a clear answer.

Got a call from O2 Virgin warning me my SIM's about to expire soon. I was like, oh really? They said they’d send me a new one but first they needed to check my info. I asked them if they even knew my name, and they wanted me to give my email so they could look it up. I said surely they’ve got my details already, so just tell me my name! They couldn’t, so I told them I was blocking the number. Guess what? They said, “Enjoy your blocking, ma’am!” Weird call.

Yesterday I noticed I’d missed a couple of calls from this number. My phone was on silent since I was at a family gathering, couldn’t answer. They left voicemails, but it was just noisy chatter that sounded like a call centre in India - no one spoke directly to me or left any actual messages. I’ve blocked the number now.

These lot sound like total scammers, like the usual info thieves. A couple days back, I got a call from them but it was a diff number. When I said I was gonna block them, they just carried on with their spiel like I wasn’t even saying anything. Best just to block them right away. Get Jim Browning involved if you can!

I didn’t recognise the number and it showed up flagged as a possible scam, so I usually just ignore those calls. Thought I’d leave a note since most comments here are from August - seems like these calls haven’t stopped and they’re still going in September. I’ve blocked the number and warned my relatives so they don’t fall for it. My mum’s quite old and could easily have thought it was legit, bless her, there’s loads of these scams going around again.

They claimed to be from O2, saying they were upgrading Virgin sim cards. When they immediately began requesting my info and then asked me to spell out my email, I just ended the call. If they genuinely had my details, they wouldn't be asking me to spell stuff. Total scam!

Received a dodgy call purporting to be from O2. Some chap with a hefty Indian accent launched right into the usual, "How's your day going?" He claimed to be from ‘who2’ at O2. That was my cue to end the conversation; I hung up immediately. I promptly checked on 'who's been calling me' and blocked the number without a second thought. There are plenty of warnings about this being a scam. Stay vigilant, everyone!

08/27/24. Got a call from someone claiming to be from O2. They told me my "SIM was expired" and that it would soon be "blocked." They asked for my info so they could "send me a replacement SIM for free." Don’t ever share your personal info with callers like this. It’s a total SCAM.
